Formative Evaluation is Impossible without Clear Goals
Goals Make Progress Decisions Easier
Set a few, but important goals. Ensure goals are measurable and linked to validated formative evaluation practices. Base goal setting on logical educational practices. Improving the Process of Setting Goals for Formative Evaluation
Goal Smorgasboard! Student will perform spelling skills at a high 3rd grade level. Student will alphabetize words by the second letter with 80% accuracy. Student will read words from the Dolch Word List with 80% accuracy. Student will master basic multiplication facts with 80% accuracy. Student will increase reading skills by progressing through Scribner with 90% accuracy as determined by teacher-made fluency and comprehension probes by October 199x. To increase reading ability by 6 months to 1 year as measured by the Woodcock Johnson. Student will make one year's growth in reading by October 1990 as measured by the Brigance. Student will be a better reader. Student will read aloud with 80% accuracy and 80% comprehension. Student will make one year's gain in general reading from K-3. Students will read 1 story per week.
ReadingIn (#) weeks (Student name) will read (#) Words Correctly in 1 minute from randomly selected Grade (#) passages. SpellingIn (#) weeks (Student name) will write (#) Correct Letter Sequences and (#) Correct Words in 2 minutes from randomly selected Grade (#) spelling lists. Math ComputationIn (#) weeks (Student name) will write (#) Correct Digits in 2 minutes from randomly selected Grade (#) math problems. Written ExpressionIn (#) weeks (Student name) will write (#) Total Words and (#) Correct Writing Sequences when presented with randomly selected Grade (#) story starters. Reduce the Number of Goals to a Few Critical Indicators
Goal Setting Equation Baseline data + {ROI (rate of improvement) (# of weeks)} = GOAL
Goal Setting Equation Example 1.Equation 3 rd grade fall benchmark score = 75 Meeting date 10/5/10 Reading fluency difficulties Baseline + ROI (#weeks)= GOAL (39weeks left of school)= goal 117 wpm
Goal Setting Equation Example 2.Equation Student has difficulty reading fluently 3 rd grade student RCBM fall benchmark= 30 Progress monitored at 2 nd grade RCBM= 40 Meeting date = 10/4/10 Progress Monitor below grade level Baseline (PM) + ROI (grade level you are Pming on)X number of weeks= goal 40 + (1.2 X 39) = goal Goal = 86 wpm on 2 nd grade
No this equation will not work for some things…. 1 st grade = Goal is to learn 25 sight words by the end of 1 st quarter Student Baseline= 6 sight words Progress Monitor daily= how many sight words does she know in the morning? Weeks= 4 Goal = 20
Behavior Behavior is tricky…..how do I collect a baseline? Observations Data sheets Checklists Referrals to the office
